[Microformats-dev] ISO Dates

[Brian Suda]

On the discuss list there has been so talk about ISO date formats.
Currently, X2V only supports Dates without the '-' seperators (which
is wrong and will be changed).

X2V currently takes the date with a timezone and attempts to convert
it to a UTC date so that importing applications can adjust
accordingly. This is ALOT of work in XSLT, which i'm wondering if it
is needed at all?

Maybe, instead of trying to convert things, i should just take exactly
what the user put as án 'iso date' and use that even if it is wrong.
Then let the importing application deal with it? This would make the
code ALOT easier and it would also then accept the dates with and
without dashes.

Is there a reason it should be attempting to convert all dates to UTC?
I figured i'd ask the list before making any changes.
